Perhaps that's what's affecting the good people of TW? (I am sure that it would affect me.)<br /><br />Equating homosexuality with paedophilia, that's an old one. I remember vaguely from my early childhood in the 1950s hearing adult comments implying that children were not safe around gay men. Amazing that such antediluvian ideas still survive among people, like this vicar, who are young enough to know better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795284845836270713.post-72461378270348042062016-09-04T08:25:11.952+01:002016-09-04T08:25:11.952+01:00Ah, the wells that feed the infant Rivers Fleet on...Ah, the wells that feed the infant Rivers Fleet on Hampstead Heath are also chalybeate.

This includes exclusion of any use of anything but the missionary position (eyes shut, of course) and only the participation of legitimately and canonically and in all other ways sanctified married penises and vaginas.

"the Spring water was reputed to cure all sorts of ills from infertility and hangovers to obesity and 'a moist brain'".
